What will come of recording 1 minute of music everyday for 366 days? Eddie Cain Irvin promises fans a new song every 24 hours until Feb 22, 2009 with his newest webproject, Eddie's 1 Minute. By combining reverse video and a few styles of music (piano/guitar loop jams + ambient electro-pop), Eddies1Minute.com (Es1m.com for short) is quickly becoming Eddie's virtual playground; a space to publish his overflowing creativity and imagination.
Eddie
Who could have thought at the time that the 1993 classic Free Willy had the potential to open the door to endless musical possibilities? Probably very few, and rightfully so, but one lucky boy with that Michael Jackson theme song stuck in his head sat down at his piano at eight years old and began to play along. What followed in the years to come was simply beautiful.
Eddie Cain Irvin was signed by James Madison University's record label 80 One Records, and under their care he released the album, "Life Die Life Dedicated." While at college, Eddie also opened for Copeland, Guster and the Pat McGee Band. Most recently, Eddie began a year-long project where he creates a quick fix minute of music everyday. Publishing video with every song on Eddies1Minute.com, it becomes very clear that Eddie is addicted to creativity and is genuinely focused on always pushing onwards and upwards.
Eddie's music is perfect when you have the craving for driving beats, rhyme infused lyrics and soothing love songs. By flying between different styles of rhythm he keeps attention close and imagination vivid. At his live shows, Eddie also uses a loop pedal to record his improvisation and freestyling, creating richly deep music by layering vocal harmonies with drumbeats, strings and piano. What Eddie creates is more than a concert; he wants you to walk away with melodies echoing inside your head, with the lyrics having touched your heart. Good shivers, the kind you get when something is just right, is the exact feeling Eddie Cain Irvin always strives to create. Pass the good feeling and share the good shivers, because telling a friend is positively the best way to this musician's success.
